Absent students let's say you are teaching. it is winter, and it seems that a larger fraction of students than normal are sick. you are eating lunch in the teachers' lounge, and another teacher says, "in my class today fof the girls were absent but only ? of the boys were absent." what fraction of her class was absent today? a. work on the problem above and show your work. b. what if the number of boys and girls is equal? does this change your answer in a. or not? explain your response c. meet with your partner(s) and discuss the problem. if you have the same answer, did you arrive at the answer in the same way? if you have different answers, listen to one another's reasoning until you can agree on one answer. justify your answer. d. what is a realistic range of possible answers? e. what is the theoretical range of possible answers?

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
